Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Yellow Onion Diced
  • 1 Green Pepper Diced
  • 1 Red Pepper Diced
  • 2 Stalks Celery Diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Chopped
  • 1 Can Red Kidney Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 Can Annelini Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 Can Black Beans drained and rinsed
  • I Can Pink Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Vegetable / Chicken Stock
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 pinch Thyme
  • Red Pepper flakes to taste
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 3 Spicy Sausages browned and sliced in circles
  • 6 cup Cooked White Rice

Instructions

  • In a medium sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, pepper, celery and garlic.
  • Cook the vegetables until soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the beans, stock, herbs and spices and simmer for 30 minutes. (In this recipe I call for 4 different types of beans, but you can use 4 cans of the same beans. Since I started playing around with this recipe, I decided that the different colors really add something to the dish)
  • Add salt and pepper and adjust seasonings.
  • Serve over the rice topped with sausage / veggie sausage. Don't forget to remove the bay leaf before serving.
  • Add a sprinkle of grated cheese over each serving (if you are using veggie sausage)
